Additional
Information
Precautions
• Cool off the unit beforehand if your car has
been parked in direct sunlight.
• Do not leave the front panel or audio devices
brought in inside the car, or it may cause
malfunction due to high temperature in
direct sunlight.
• Power antenna (aerial) extends
automatically.
Moisture condensation
Should moisture condensation occur inside
the unit, remove the disc and wait for about an
hour for it to dry out; otherwise the unit will
not operate properly.
To maintain high sound quality

discs with a cleaning cloth
from the center out. Do not
use solvents such as
benzine, thinner,
commercially available
cleaners.
• This unit is designed to play back discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD)
standard. DualDiscs and some of the music
discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies do not conform to the Compact
Disc (CD) standard, therefore, these discs
may not be playable by this unit.
• Discs that this unit CANNOT play
– Discs with labels, stickers, or sticky tape or
paper attached. Doing so may cause a
malfunction, or may ruin the disc.

300 if folder/file names contain many
characters)
– displayable characters for a folder/file name:
32 (Joliet)/64 (Romeo)
• If the multi-session disc begins with a CD-
DA session, it is recognized as a CD-DA disc,
and other sessions are not played back.
• Discs that this unit CANNOT play
– CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality.
– CD-R/CD-RW recorded with an
incompatible recording device.
– CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly.

About MP3 files
• MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio
Layer-3, is a music file compression format
standard. It compresses audio CD data to
approximately 1/10 of its original size.
• ID3 tag versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4
apply to MP3 only. ID3 tag is 15/30
characters (1.0 and 1.1), or 63/126 characters
(2.2, 2.3 and 2.4).
• When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the
file extension “.mp3” to the file name.
• During playback or fast-forward/reverse of a
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) MP3 file, elapsed
playing time may not display accurately.
Note
If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 320 kbps,
sound may be intermittent.
About WMA files
• WMA, which stands for Windows Media
Audio, is a music file compression format
standard. It compresses audio CD data to
approximately 1/22* of its original size.
• WMA tag is 63 characters.
• When naming a WMA file, be sure to add
the file extension “.wma” to the file name.
• During playback or fast-forward/reverse of a
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) WMA file, elapsed
playing time may not display accurately.
*only for 64 kbps

Maintenance
Replacing the lithium battery of the
remote commander
When the battery becomes weak, the range
of the remote commander becomes shorter.
Replace the battery with a new CR2025
lithium battery. Use of any other battery
may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Notes on the lithium battery
• Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of
children. Should the battery be swallowed,
immediately consult a doctor.
• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a
good contact.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when
installing the battery.
• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,
otherwise a short-circuit may occur.
Cleaning the connectors
The unit may not function properly if the
connectors between the unit and the front
panel are not clean. In order to prevent this,
detach the front panel (page 5) and clean the
connectors with a cotton swab. Do not apply
too much force. Otherwise, the connectors
may be damaged.
